What I _really_ wanted to say was `we should use a prerelease scheme' [0], but I'm not ready to write code for that yet, so... Cheers, aj [0] viz, a kind of semi-unstable that only gets packages added to it if they're immediately releasable. ie, they don't break boot-floppies, don't break CD-rom building, and don't have any release critical bugs. See somewhere under http://www.debian.org/~ajt/ for some ideas/discussion/proposal on how this might be made to work. -- Anthony Towns <aj@humbug.org.au> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
